Not for nothing did the Massachusetts-based collective name the album The Morning After. Friends, this is raw rhythm n' blues, this is how it should feel, and, man, this is how it should sound. The Morning After spills forth with previously unheard tonalities, ranging from the distinctive swells of Seth Justman's slow-burn organ to the live-wire spark of Geils' own downed-power-line-jumpy guitar work to the mooring hi-hat/cymbal/snare combinations of arrangement-steadying drummer Steven Bladd. You'll lose none of the focus, detail, placement, or presence no matter how high the decibels climb. Twist the volume knob to the right as much as you want. As for the band's trademark dynamics? Here, they feel like they're on the verge of exploding. It's always been difficult to single out just one member of the band given the cohesive bluster the ensemble achieves as a whole, but this collectible audiophile edition allows you to do just that if you so choose, by way of superb imaging and separation. Mastered from the original master tapes and strictly limited to 2,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's hybrid SACD achieves a sonic acumen that brings you face-to-face with the sextet's white-hot instrumental prowess and magnetic personalities. And now it rolls with an abandon that takes you inside the sweaty, smoky roadhouses and wall-to-wall-packed clubs the group dominated in its heyday. Shot through with raw, lean rock n' roll sparked by juke-joint blues and loose rhythms, the 1971 set comes on like the most fun, party-still-raging hangover any group in the 70s enjoyed. Geils Band's sophomore album tell you all you need know about the music, spirit, and energy spilling from within The Morning After.
